RTI VT-3100 U-Matic Videotape Evaluator/Cleaner

Inspects

The 4-channel RTI defect detection system is fast, accurate and easy to use, so you will know the physical condition of tapes before you use them . . . allowing you to:

• Remove bad tapes from your collection.
• Eliminate re-dubbing time and costs.
• Prevent tapes from damaging your recording equipment.
• Provide your customers or viewers with documented good tapes.

Cleans

Routine burnishing and cleaning of your tapes can eliminate up to 70% of the temporary dropouts. Even prerecorded tapes will look better after only one pass through the RTI Evaluator/Cleaner.

• Clean tapes keep recorders clean.
• Burnishing promotes maximum tape performance.
• Good tapes look sharper when cleaned; marginal tapes become more acceptable.
• Clean tapes save maintenance time and costs.

Protects

Protect critical components in your VCR - the video, audio and control track heads. When you play tapes, they become dusty, dirty and the oxide loosens. This debris accumulates on the heads and inside the recorder, causing permanent damage and expensive repairs. It also interferes with video signal transfer so pictures look "snowy" and tapes become further damaged.
